Age Category Record Smashed
Robert Saliba set a new record in the VM70-74 age category, completing the course in an impressive 22 minutes and 44 seconds - beating the previous record by 1 minute and 5 seconds.
Earlier this month, 540 participants across the Mackay region embraced the parkrun spirit. With pacer week coming up, it’s the perfect time to get active and be part of this vibrant community initiative.
A representative from Mackay Park Run said “Get out and get active with us…Don't forget it's pacer week!
“All are welcome!”
Mackay parkrun is a free, timed 5km run/walk and is held every Saturday at 7 am at the Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens. Alternatively, participants can join the Seaview parkrun at Bucasia Esplanade.
